Is God mad?
Hangman rest your noose
Before you hang
Your country out to dry
The blood encrusted turning crimson
We hurt 
From this lack of freedom
Making our choices
Consequential
The lies!...

Condemned eyes bleeding 
unrighteous persecution
fear not consequential truth.

Past the unsaid 
your eyes speak riddles
bounded by vines,
behind stringent lies. 

Poisonous misery 
Seeks a porous heart.
Estranged soul
Set this world apart.

Amidst my darkest moment.
God, sent fusions of light,
Prompting anxiety to dissipate,
And hasten from view.
It was in this illumination
That all seemed less consequential
Than first I'd imagined.
For during this face-off with darkness,
I embraced my true identity,
And accepted God's plan for my life....

Wakeful slumber
Rise and shine
Greet Nature Mother
Wink at Father Time
Advance to Go
Daily choices
Purposeful endeavors
Momentary miracles
Internal-I-zations
Thoughts abundant
Feelings adrift
Actions Aware
Consequential checkmate
Evolved emotions Exiled
Rich Resplendent Resolve
All's Well Within...

We may compel the Wishing Well
To grant us all we seek
But … believing in a Wishing Well
Leaves a consequential pique.

For …
Ambition is the engine;
Motivation is the fuel
Labor - physical and mental
Become the only tools

To build upon the dreams within
Which only we can see
‘Tis how our wondrous dreams
Will breach reality....

We had words over words.
Though this saddens some
I find myself encouraged,
more hopeful for the future.

We had words over words
instead of rocks over words
or bullets over words
or bombs bursting over words.

The bruising of an ego
is less consequential
than the loss of a limb
or the loss of a life.

We had words over words,
we will live to write another day....

    I cling to Thee
With all of My beliefs'
          - And -
   Surrender all of My
          Doubts' of Severity
Fore You are the Mighty
      Of the Most High
             ------
      Much more Noble
           Than I,
          ------
Your Moral Indignation
Is non consequential to My
     Outer most discretion'

So sweet, and yet so disappointing
Envious, and yet so anti-social
Strict, consequential
Mellow, quiet
Its actions and results are so loud
But its words are oh so silent
Too silent
To silent to even know it's there
Lurking around
Shadowing you
Closing down on its next clueless prey
Helplessly I run from its clutches
So tempting I shift towards its gentle touches
Oh sweet Misery....

Been a little
Seen a little
Dreamed a little
Cradled a little
Cried a little 
Loved a little
Lost a little 
Been bitten a little
Bought a little
Sold very little
Been happy a little
Been sad a little 
Felt pain a little
Joy a little
Been belittled 

But rarely of late
Say
Little meaningful 
Or
Nothing little 

Consequential at all

When little matters 
Most of all

There are some among us who deem themselves - JUDGE
But their own lifestyles are often - NOT
Open for criticism - LEST
You wish to open your own lives for retribution, oh, - YE
Best leave our judging to - BE
Done by One who is perfect, for when - JUDGED
By He it will be a final determination and He is more capable of rendering a - MORE
Consequential fate if His hand of judgment moves - HARSHLY

Did Pray on Dull and Dreary Day
Horn Hiaku

to God we would pray
on a dull and dreary day
gorgeous sky now gray

our prayers to God said
after that had gone to bed
fires we do dread

about worried much
police tightly clutch and touch
now walks with a crutch

with God we will stand
after He gave us His hand
Him we understand

is consequential
while having the potential
of being essential

Political activities taking place.

Your life is so rich--uniquely consequential--
It's no accident, YOU were born with potential,
No goal is so lofty you cannot achieve it
You're a special one-of-a-kind, that's the secret.
Never stop dreaming, aim for unreachable stars
Anticipate some battles, with pride wear those scars.
Someday you'll look back on a distinguished career,
Because you faced every day with courage, my dear.
